Many thanks for the tip on the tack strip.
If the convertible that I took the tack strip off this morning is any indication of what mine is like under the fabric, some aftermarket tack strip is in my future: The corners were pretty well destroyed. The person who did that top ran out of reasonable-length staples in the middle of the job and ended up using 5/8" or 3/4" and broke the tack strip corners into pieces that looked like black Turkish Taffy (if you're old enough to remember that dentist's delight.)
What did you use to countersink the tack strip for the pop rivets?
Monel staples! Cool.
